When her husband’s tragic death uncovers long-buried secrets, a young mother fights to protect her family and heal her heart in an emotionally resonant novel about loss, love, and second chances.
After her husband’s sudden death, Beatrice Bell retreats to her childhood home in California’s Sierra mountains with her rebellious teenage twins in tow. Her plan is to take over her parents’ antique store, ensure it survives another generation, and build a new life from the rubble of the old one.
But Bea didn’t plan on Simon, the gruff store manager with his own ambitions for the business. As they’re forced to work together, animosity gives way to grudging respect and ignites an unexpected spark. Before Bea can find her footing, everything is upended. First by River, a local boy who bears a striking resemblance to her late husband. Then by her estranged mother-in-law, who reveals devastating secrets that will test everything Bea believed about her marriage.
As Bea navigates grief, betrayal, and an unexpected connection with Simon, she finds that it may be possible to begin again, but only if she confronts the truth of her past.

批評家のレビュー
“Honest, tender, and the best kind of complicated—I loved every page of Simon and Bea’s unexpected love story. As always, Mara Williams balances difficult family dynamics, complex grief, and full-bodied romance with charm and style.” —Lauren Okie, author of Tropesick
“Heartbreaking and hopeful…Williams tells the emotional story of a grieving widow blindsided by loss, betrayal, and the possibility of new love. Set against the backdrop of a small California lake town, readers will fall in love with the Bell family and all their complications, then root for Bea to find her footing in the chaos. The Other Side of Starting Over is a novel that stays with you long after the last page.” —Julie Hatcher, author of Not Quite by the Book
“The Other Side of Starting Over is a beautiful, nuanced story of how the people we’ve loved—and the people we’ve been—can haunt us. Williams doesn’t shy away from complexity, giving her characters room to be realistically and endearingly messy as they relearn joy in the midst of intense grief. This book is a resonant reminder that while we can’t change the hand we’ve been dealt or outrun our old lives, we can give our past a safe space to live on inside us, and find comfort in the love of people whose baggage fits right beside ours.” —Ellen O’Clover, author of The Heartbreak Hotel
